【Watch Wet Men And Women Online】

Conan Exilesjust got a lot less hilarious.

When the online survival game for ripped barbarian wish fulfillment launches in early access for Xbox One on Watch Wet Men And Women OnlineAug. 16, it will have 100 percent fewer naked bodies. Also: 100 percent less hilarity.

There was much noise around the game's PC launch, which includes character creation sliders for both "breast size" and "endowment." If you're struggling to comprehend that second one: you can equip your male barbarian with a super-peen.

This artful GIF from back in January sums it up well.

Blame the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), North America's video game ratings group-slash-fun police. In order to nab its M rating, Exilesdeveloper Funcom was forced to embrace "partial nudity," covering up the naughty bits on male and female characters.

That's according to Funcom community manager Jens Erik, as Eurogamerspotted during a recent Xbox One stream.

"The reason for this is if we included full nudity in Conan Exiles, this would have resulted in a more restrictive ESRB rating in North America which then might have prevented a broad release of the game," he said.

The more restrictive rating Erik refers to is "AO," short for "adults only." It's the most severe rating handed out by the ESRB, and one that is a non-starter among most developers since it effectively limits sales potential, particularly on consoles.

It's the same reason you don't see a whole lot of NC-17-rated movies in theaters; the U.S. audience has a real hunger for blood and violence, but sex and nudity are a tougher sell. This so-called "golden age of TV" we're currently living in has helped a lot on that count (see also: Game of Thrones), but Conan Exilesis apparently a peen too far.
